Chapter 2

 

FREYA

 

I stared at the two men in my room like they had both gone mad. What did they mean by saying mate? Just then I felt my wolf spring up from inside me. Her fur was white and beautiful as she stood. Somehow I could see her and feel her; tears began to gather in my eyes. 

“Finally, I found my wolf,” I said, staring at her.

Her voice jolted me out of emotion. 

“Mate!” she exclaimed, wiggling her tail at the twins' alpha. I nearly forget that they are inside my room.

“W… what?” I stuttered. "How could this be possible?” I muttered under my breath, the excitement I had been feeling replaced with fear, and my body began trembling. Why would the moon goddess pair me with these evils, not even one, but two?

 

“No, it can't be,” I said and moved backwards.

“Our mates are handsome,” my wolf said, but I ignored her, trying my best to block her away. 

“They aren't; they are wicked,” I responded to her to understand what I had been through under them. Having them as mates would be another hell for us, their girlfriends, and everyone that wants them….

 

“You’re our mate.” Nicklaus' low voice jolted me out of my trance, coming close to me. I never thought he could speak to me this softly; all I am familiar with is the hoarse one.

 “Destined to be with us, you are made for us,” Nicholas added, blowing hot breath in my ear.

I knew they wouldn't accept me, so I braced myself for what was to come. They both had fiancés, and I am nothing compared to those ladies.

I fought back the tears that were about to stream down my eyes. No, I shouldn't act like I need them. After all, they are my tormentors; nothing good will come out of being their mates.

“Reject me! Reject this bond! You don't want it either!” It started as a whisper and then became a shout.

I felt my heart contract painfully as I said them. My wolf howled in pain. It seems like she wasn’t ready to lose her mate just now, but I didn’t really care. We were both better off without the twins anyways.

 

“No! Why would we ever do that? You’re our little kitty, and you belong to us.” Nicholas said, raising up my chin.

 

“We want you in every way; we've wanted you ever since you were sixteen and transferred to our quarters as a slave,” Nicklaus said.

I felt a surge of anger; tears I had fought began to fall uncontrollably.

“We are sorry,” they said in unison. 

I felt hope blooming in my chest. Was that their way of asking for redemption? Do they mean it? Did they really want me? 

Before I could think of answers, Nicklaus turned me from his brother to face him.

 

“I will never let you go.” He said before slamming his lips on mine. I tried to resist him but couldn’t, as the mate bond only made my body respond faster to him as I let him kiss me.

It was surprisingly gentle, more than I expected, like he truly cared, yet I couldn't shake the feeling that I was just their toy to play with for the moment. 

Nicholas grabbed me from behind, pressing my back to his front as he attacked my neck with hot kisses, which made me moan into Nicklaus' mouth.

 

Slowly, Nicholas removed my clothes as he kissed my shoulders and then my back and then my waist. He let his hands trail slowly from my legs upwards as he pushed me to the bed, and I fell on Nicklaus as he landed on it.

I panicked.

“Calm down, little wolf, what's wrong?” He asked, but I rolled my eyes shyly, avoiding his gaze.

“It's my first time,” I said meekly.

 

“We want you, Freya. In every way possible.” Nicklaus whispered into my ear, teasing me slowly as he licked my ear with his tongue. I didn’t even know he knew my name!

 

“And trust we’ll make sure your body never craves anyone except us because you belong to us now.” Nicholas finished.

 

It was the sweetest torture. Soon we all came, lying exhausted as I tried to control my breathing as the twins gathered me in their arms, stroking my hair till sleep came.

 

I woke up feeling happy with my chest a whole lot lighter. I could feel myself stuck in between two bodies. When I got up, I had been sandwiched between the twins. I tried to get up, but Nicklaus grabbed me by the waist, hugging me to his naked self.

 

“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked angrily.

 

“I was just going to get some clothes on.” I replied shyly. Being so exposed to them when it was day made me feel shy as I blushed; my wolf purred in satisfaction of being around her mate.

 

“Hmmm. You’ll do that only when we ask you to.” Nicholas said, getting up in a hurry as he glared at me.

 

I sat down and watched the twins get dressed while I was still naked on the bed.

 

“Time to talk seriously Freya”. Nicklaus said, glancing at his brother.

 

“Okay...” I replied unsure of what we were about to talk about. Of course I knew we had to find a way to break it to the pack that I was their mate. They said they wanted to be with me last night right?

 

“We can't be together. We watched you grow up and so did many others. Don’t you think it would be beneath  our status to have you as our mate?Imagine the mockery!”. Nicholas said, chuckling slightly.

 

“What my brother and I are trying to say is that we cannot accept you as our mate. We are the Alphas and refuse to be mates with a person like you. Now be notified that I’d make your life more than hell if it ever got out that you are our mate”.  Nicklaus said.

 

“But...last night...” I replied, trailing off as tears began to spill from my eyes. This must be a nightmare; they couldn't possibly mean it. After the night we shared?

 

“It was just sex, Freya, and now we know what you truly are. A slut, that's what you are. Beneath all the good girl character was a slut who allowed two men to fuck her at the same time and on the same night.” Nicholas said with mirth in his eyes as he stared at me. 

 “You should embrace who you are; at least it would help you get somewhere farther than where being a slave has brought you.” Nicklaus said, looking bored.

“I, Alpha Nicklaus Mickelson, reject you, Freya, a lowly slave, as my mate!”

 

“No…!” I growled out in pain, holding my chest tightly. It hurts so much; my body trembles in shock. I raised my gaze up to Nicholas; at least he's been kind to me once. I hope that he wouldn't reject me as his brother did. I was already broken; another rejection will completely shatter me.

 

“I, Alpha Nicholas Mickelson, reject you, Freya, a maid, as my mate and Luna!”

 

“No… argh…” I cried hard, watching them leave after reciting the rejection vows.

“Oh, and if you ever have an itch to scratch, we are here for you.” They winked and left.

I sat shocked and shattered as I stared at the door, still processing what the twins had just said. My heart contorted in pain as my wolf howled in pain. Somehow I felt more for her than for myself. She had been too fast to dive into dreamland, and now it had all been shattered. 

 

I was still broken—emotionally and physically. I felt an ache between my legs in a place I never knew could ache, and tears streamed down my face.

I trudged to the small bathroom to wash up and get clean. A few minutes later, I came out, dripping water all over the floor, but my heart was still heavy.

Then I suddenly heard the tinkling laughter of Lydia ring out in the yard. I knew she must be with her best friend.

 I had no doubt that they would be coming to sneer at me. I did not care if they knew that I had just been treated like a slut by their boyfriends. I did not care about the repercussions of what I was about to do.

All I knew was that I could not withstand any more mistreatment from here. Not after that last statement. How dare they!

Anyways, I now have a wolf. I will be able to survive.

I looked around my room, feeling very sorry for myself. I had almost nothing to my name that I could take along. I wrapped the little I had and ducked out the door.

I carefully evaded where the voices were coming from as I ran towards the closest border.

"I ,Freya Walter, hereby break every bond I have with this pack, " I snarled, and hurried out of the borders. I relished in the pain that washed through my being, knowing that wherever Nicholas and Nicklaus were, they would also feel the pain I cut the bond between us.

They were going to find me alright. And I knew what they were going to do to me. But until I knew what I was going to do to them, I would run.

So I ran. And ran. And ran.

Until I felt my legs collapse and I fell, smacking my head hard against a rock, and darkness enveloped me.
